(Wilmington, DE 19809) On Tuesday, February 24, 2026, at approximately 4:00 a.m., officers from the New Castle County Division of Police responded to the 500 block of Maple Avenue in the Bellefonte community for a report of an injured person. Upon arrival, officers found a 20-year-old male victim with a deep, open wound on his hand. A responding officer immediately applied a tourniquet to control the bleeding until Emergency Medical Services arrived. The victim was then transported to a local hospital for treatment.
Detectives from the Division’s Criminal Investigations Unit were notified and responded to the scene to assume the investigation. Detectives determined the incident stemmed from an online argument between the victim and 19-year-old Logan Albright of Wilmington.

During the confrontation, the victim’s hand was struck with the hatchet, causing the injury.
The victim received medical treatment and was subsequently released from the hospital.
Albright also sustained minor injuries from the incident and went to a local hospital, where detectives contacted him. After receiving treatment and being released, he was transported to New Castle County Police Headquarters and charged with:
- One felony count of first-degree assault
- One felony count of possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony
- One violation of third-degree criminal trespass
Logan Albright was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 11 and committed to the Howard Young Correctional Institution on $80,050.00 cash bail.
